Joy, I've been following this thread with interest as I have some boots with a similar heel and square toe. I still wear mine for now, but I've been threatening to pass them on for some time.
I agree with what April says about the age factor here - unfair but true, and I speak as one of the older members myself. Angie's post on flared crops gave me the same impression: I could see younger, trendier women pulling off the look beautifully, while on me it might read as if I were sporting my old flares at half mast - a look I see quite frequently when I'm a out and about, and it's not pretty!
Still, Angie has validated the shoes, so we can both please ourselves, I suppose. Are you going to keep or pass?
